Goodness! To my surprise this topic created great interest. I'm glad others
share my irritation at the 'don't bother with I' brigade. And yes, there's a
lot of very careless spelling around. I'm guilty of it myself now and then.
My Outlook does at least spell check my emails out and there's often an
accidental typo because of speed. But the small i always strikes me as
deliberate and rather arrogant, or perhaps a pseud attempt to be
'fashionable'.

You have my vote. Readability is everything and that means using correct
upper or lower cases as needed. Just like good punctuation aids
readability.
What the lazy posters don't appreciate is that he/she is just concerned
with
one message thread and therefore readability isn't so important unlike for
those reading dozens of message threads.

Keep up the pressure for decent English.
